SK1 Weekly Updates: (Feb. 9- Feb.12)

Assalam Alikum Dear Parents,

Below are some updates from our classroom!

Language Arts:

We are still working in our fourth phonic book. The focus will be on:

The Sound of Short Vowels

If there is one vowel in a one-syllable word, it is
usually short vowel sound.

Examples: pan- met - rid- rod - tub.

The Sound of Long Vowels

Long vowels heard in the middle of a one-syllable
word are usually formed in one of two ways:

Two vowels together – the first vowel is long and the second vowel is silent (example: pāin).

 A vowel followed by a consonant or consonants and a silent e at the end of a word (example: pāne).

 We are also learning about the following digraphs: ai,oa,ie,ee,or

 Some examples are:

ai:  rain- paint-snail

oa:  oak-goat-road

i-e:  kite-bike-fine

ee: sheep- keep- tree

or: storm-fork-horse

 Next week inshaAllah the students will make their own Vowel Sound Book.

Please check the YouTubes below for further practice at home.

Sk1 enjoyed playing Bingo Sight Words.

Math:

We are still learning about measurement.
